Third quarterly report on progress to address COVID-19 health inequalities
Following publication of the Public Health England (PHE) report COVID-19: review of disparities in risks and outcomes in June 2020, the Prime Minister and the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care asked the Minister for Equalities, Kemi Badenoch MP, to lead cross-government work to address the report’s findings.
In line with the terms of reference for this work[footnote 2], the Minister for Equalities published her first progress report to the Prime Minister on 22 October 2020, and the second report on 26 February 2021. This third report provides a further update on cross-government work to address the disparities highlighted by the PHE report, ahead of the fourth and final quarterly report later this year.
